How to use this report
- Price check. BV puts one new followed link from gamesradar.com at $927 (level A), priced on a blend of link types (A 93% · B 6% · C 1%): $463 to an unrelated site (×0.5), $1,158 to a same-topic site (×1.25). A followed editorial link (level A) would be worth up to $963 before relevance. A quote far above $1,204 for a level A link pays for what BV does not measure.
- Qualification and risk. Its Site Strength is 80 / 100; the link it usually gives is mostly level A — counted (an editorial citation). In the 9 articles we read, 0% of the links to other sites are nofollow, sponsored or ugc. The spam score of its links is 10 (0–100, the linking pages' average), not gamesradar.com's own.
- Traffic reality check. Set any traffic claim beside the Oct 2026 estimate: 13.5M monthly visits, 60% from organic search (8.1M). Visits rose 1.6% from Aug 2026 to Oct 2026. Its top keyword by Visits (est.) is “anime zero codes”, about 92.4K a month; the ad value beside it is the whole market's.

Server and network
Its domain was registered in 1999.
mxverify looked up gamesradar.com's address: it is served through Fastly (CDN), a content delivery network. Its address is shared edge infrastructure used by unrelated sites, so it cannot show who else runs on the same server, and sharing the network is no sign of a connection.
Fastly (CDN) fronts millions of unrelated sites, so sharing it says nothing about who runs a site.

Limitations: what this report does not show
- No link on this publication has been audited yet, so nothing here describes how its links behave.
- A CDN address is shared by unrelated sites, so it says nothing about ownership; no neighbours are listed for it.
- gamesradar.com gives more than one kind of link (A 93% · B 6% · C 1%), so BV prices a blend of them: an editorial link there would be worth $963 and a guest or sponsored one $482, before relevance.
